Hey Taylor~~I like what you're doing with your stories--their gutsy and real . You have a good narrative voice and eye for troubled characters (most likely because you've been one before). What your stories need to get more readers returning to them and turning pages and voting is some good old fashioned up-beat promise of a better life, and let's face it, sexxual tension brewing beneath the surface of the characters.
Let's not forget our readers are 89% female, aged between 14-44, and hormonally curious about sexx and romance. They use fiction like a drug and a as a secret outlet for their passions and fantasies--don't dissapoint them. Give them what they're looking for--chapter after chapter.
As we girls know the anticipation of sexx and romance is almost a s powerful a getting it. So always tease them into the next chapter for more. What your story lacks is the inner feelings and desires by your characters expressed to the reader more explicitly.
I'm sending you a short story of mine--just 4 parts, to demonstrate this. Trust me it's helped a lot of budding writers get more reads and votes on Wattpad.
Now you should know as a warning this story is "hot," In fact, Part 4 was given a "R-Private" rating (woo woo!) and is intended by WP just for followers--right.
But pay no mind to that, I'm sending you the naughty link as a random act of kindness--and tutorial for you :)
(Best to read this last section while home alone!)
Just let me know what you thought of the story.
